Thank You My Buddies

Today is the last day of the Chinese New Year. 15th marks the day for "reunion of families and friends". While most of us are thinking about Valentine Day, I am thinking about my own friends.
 
When I was young, my mum often tell me to cherish my time with my friends. "Cos’ when they all grow up, with their own kids and family, friends will have lesser time for one another" she said. I accepted that as a natural course of life. Our children, aging parents certainly need our time.
 
With friends getting married, with heavy job commitments, raising children, migrating overseas – it would be very difficult to round friends up every weekend. I am very thankful that I have a group of pals who stick by one another – in one way or another.
 
For the past few years (even before the birth of Elkan), my regular buddies have been there for us. While it is almost like an unwritten routine rule that we will gather every Sat, both Felicia and I really appreciate those efforts and sacrifices they made. Especially those wee hours and mid-night cab fares that they have to pay every Sat. (That is why I felt even more guilty when Meijie chose to walk home after our party.)
 
This Valentine, I want to express thanks for the following pals. (How about a big candle-light dinner for all of us?)
 
Juliana and Duuk, you guys often made detour from Seng Kang to my place – rushing from places to places. (Hope you two have enough time to prepare for your first Baby Bonus). Joanne, I hope Ramesh isn’t neglected every weekends – and sorry for all those expensive midnight-taxi fares that you have to pay. Meijie and Tracy – I know you aren’t so keen in ping pong yet I dragged both of you to play with me at wee hours. And Auntie Amy and Uncle Benny, thanks for fetching us from our home to Seng Kang every Sundays. And not forgetting friends like Gareth (who fetched me back to Singapore), Yifu (who is often there when I needed him), Jimmy (my close business buddy and trustee) , Yixi (who is my Blog Fan and one who questions so much about my other GFs), Kendrick (my supporter), MC (our Mr. Nice Guy) and Kalinda (our sexy Goddess) + all my ex-colleagues who are still keeping so close contact with me after VOX (people like Jasbir, Francis Chay & Echo, Scott, Nadirah, Bettina, Karen,  Hovman and Francis Goh).
 
Thanks for filling up our lives. Have a lovely Valentine Week.
 
For those whose name I have missed. Please give me an sms. 😛
